*If you have latex paint, we prefer that you dry it out with cat litter and dispose of it in the garbage after it has solidified. If you have a large quantity or are under time-pressing conditions, we will accept your latex paint for disposal.
If you have any questions about whether we can accept your materials or
products for disposal, please contact us!
